Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given: </u>
line y=3x-1
point (-3,0)
<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)
<u>Solution:</u>
The slope of the given line is 
If 
is the slope of perpendicular line, then
So, the equation of the needed line is 
Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:
Answer:
Measure of angle A is 65 degrees and measure of angle B is 37 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation: First add all of the degrees of excluding x (4+(-9)) which is -5. Then subtract that from 180 since that is the sum of all the angles in a triangle which gives you 185. Then divide it by the number of "x's" that there are which is 5 which gives you 37. So angle B is x which is 37 degrees and angle a is 2(37)-9 which is 65 degrees. Hope this helps.
Answer:
5.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
where a =? b= 12 in and c = 13 in
a² + (12)² = (13)²
a² + 144 = 169
a² = 169 - 144
a² = 25
a = √25 = 5
∴ a = 5.0
Pythagoras Theorem is usually applied when finding one missing side of a right-angle triangle.
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
